Health experts have issued warnings about a potential global outbreak of a lethal pandemic strain of influenza---the avian flu that could kill over a half of a million people in the U.S. alone, hospitalize 2 million more, and cost our economy an estimated $160 - $675 billion.

Due to growing concerns about the avian flu, Fed-OSHA has recently issued new guidance to American employers about how to reduce the impact of a pandemic flu in the workplace. While hospital workers, business travelers, and airport employees are usually the first to be impacted by a pandemic flu, every workplace needs to prepare for a potential global outbreak.

In the event of a pandemic flu, businesses will play a key role in protecting employees' health and safety as well as limiting the negative impact to the economy and society. Planning for a pandemic flu is critical because it would likely affect businesses in a number of ways. Workers may miss significant time at work, precautions may cause disruptions, and business income could be significantly impacted.

Personnel Concepts' new Pandemic Flu Preparedness Poster communicates the guidelines released by OSHA, as well as recommendations from the World Health Organization, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Our four color poster covers important topics that can protect the safety and health and employees in the event of an outbreak.
